Both are great watches, but I'd have to say Speedmaster. I love mine...just an outstanding, classic watch.

QueueCumber · 25 January 2015, 04:23 PM

1st...

Psmith · 25 January 2015, 07:48 PM

The diver, although not crazy about that particular one.

zacharyjames · 26 January 2015, 02:25 AM

Speedmaster hands down. Looks gorgeous on bracelet, leather, nato, rubber...fun to wind, plexiglass is the best look to me, and makes for a great conversation piece with watch lovers and non-watch lovers alike, just based on fact it is the moon watch.

andrewd · 26 January 2015, 01:14 PM

Seamasters have no soul because they change the design every year. And the blatant product placement in Bond films is tacky. Having said that I will probably pick up a 2254.50 at some time in the future, its the only version I like.

Andrés G · 26 January 2015, 01:27 PM

Get the Speedy Pro. A classic icon.

psholtz · 26 January 2015, 03:12 PM

Both are nice watches, but I would start w/ the Speedy.

flw · 26 January 2015, 09:48 PM

Seamaster ... because I have one! But I want a Speedy too ...

watchstudent · 26 January 2015, 11:24 PM

I had this exact same decision a month ago. I was very close to getting the blue version of that Seamaster, chose the speedy in the end. My reasons were:

1. It is beautiful
2. Impossible to get such an icon for that price anywhere
3. This was a graduation watch so needed to be a "forever" watch, Speedy will never go out of style.
4. Ultimate versatility.
5. Seamaster Pro ceramic is a beautiful dive watch, but it is just another mid luxury dive watch. Speedy is something else.

RLROCK · 27 January 2015, 01:55 AM

Speedy! It's an iconic piece with tons of history.

I'm not crazy about the movement in the 300m Seamaster.

The Seamster, bought one 2 months ago and its a great watch.

mallam3 · 27 January 2015, 05:23 AM

What Jokr82 said... Agree 100%

Maxy · 27 January 2015, 05:41 AM

Speeeeeedy!

jshepard · 30 January 2015, 10:58 PM

It depends, is this a one and only watch? Reason being is that I love the speedmaster over the seamaster. I think it's a legend and can compete with the best of other brands in terms of importance within the watch world. I've had a seamaster, it was a good watch, but nothing about it stands apart from the hordes of divers watches out there from different brands (I don't count James Bond, he's not a real person therefore hasn't really accomplished anything). But as a one and only Id go for the seamaster for its water resistance. I'd be more comfortable jumping in the pool or going to the beach with a seamaster than a speedmaster. I know technically you can swim with a speedmaster but without push down buttons I'm too chicken to try it. It just seems more practical.

I've never had a chrono in my rotation. I've always wondered about water resistance with these watches. Can you push the pushers while under water? I know Omega states that it is waterproof up to 50 meters, and I don't dive so the pool is as deep as it will ever go.

dieseldragon · 31 January 2015, 12:04 AM

Both great. I'm in and out of water all the time, so would have to be seamaster for daily wearer.
if it is a special occasion watch or your in an office, speedy for sure.

broulstone · 31 January 2015, 04:36 AM

# 2 because it has the date function and looks god

macRam · 31 January 2015, 11:35 AM

Between those two, it is an easy choice for me...... Speedy!

50M means only shallow swimming. "50 Meters - A watch with this level of resistance is wearable around household sinks, while playing sports and while swimming in shallow water. Do not wear it while bathing, snorkeling or scuba diving."

watchmaniac · 1 February 2015, 07:50 AM

50 meters is 150 feet. You would think snorkeling would be okay.??? If not while taking a bath, are you saying the hot temperature water may alter the watch and a possibility of water getting in?

Matt C · 8 February 2015, 05:41 AM

I would choose the Speedie, I would rather have the Chrono function than just a simple 3 hander. Plus I have already owned a SMP, and I've never owned a Speedmaster.

watchmaniac · 8 February 2015, 07:06 AM

Officially swapped out my SMPc for the Speedy. No regrets!

Speedmaster. I've never liked the bracelet on that Seamaster. Could be the most comfortable bracelet on the market and I'd still think it looked out of place.

Mastergreenhand · 10 February 2015, 05:10 PM

Speedy. For the record, you can swim with it, but no you cannot operate the chrono pushers while swimming (or wet). This thread is two years old by the way.

SemperFi · 16 February 2015, 06:22 AM

Seamaster for me. The dial on the Speedy is just too busy.

Point2Point · 19 February 2015, 03:06 PM

It has to be the Speedy. Not even close.

fdm79 · 19 February 2015, 09:44 PM

This is and was my choice, 1 year and 7 months ago...

Aspirin · 19 February 2015, 11:58 PM

I don't like manual wind watch because it's too trouble, but there's only two pieces, so I still vote for the moon watch.

jhcam8 · 21 February 2015, 12:32 AM

Depends what you want - chronograph? diver?

I have an Omega chrono and a Rolex Sub and sometimes think that I need them for different purposes - or not.
